ks10-e (official release), Letter from Bro. who scanned it! Newer version with BOE LTRs
by yknot inwhile an earlier version was made available privately the time has come to 'progress'.. conscious class and ex both strongly adhere to not keeping things 'hidden' in regards to wts publications, talks and documents which are circulated in order to maintain it's position.. another wonderful poster (who has yet to give me permission to name) has 'reduced' and 'bookmarked' the first full copy link i was given by our 'winner'.. in this newest and final 'clean' copy link you find two other additions besides the reduction/bookmarking..... the brother who uploaded the entire book wishes all to have a copy that includes both boe ltrs (pre-ks ltr and spiral binding ltr).
also another development has occurred.... the brother responsible for this book being brought into light and put forth for public consumption and discussion has requested i post this letter explaining to 'us' (jwn posters/global audience) and 'them' (wts of penn & ny).. i ask you give attention to his words/ experiences as he is representative of a newly emerging demographic within the conscious class.
so without further ado i give you his link and the 'stage' if you will to 'brother johnson'....... [link removed - contact ynot for further info - lady lee].

thanks zid....
i know it wont be lame
and i am hoping for tame!
for the record, i was in "that" town yesterday cos that is where they keep the walmart
and i stopped in at our food co-op as i was feeling peckish and OF COURSE there was
a JW at the counter giving me the stink-eye so i just said "hi jxxx" as i concluded my
business and walked out smiling.... i have MUCH bigger fish to fry than that!it is good to see so many are stepping out of the
shadow of the Tower and into ex-JW ignominy!!!my tribe!

well i can see you lot have been busy with the business of living!!!
kudos all, for your willingness to embrace an authentic life.....so, as it happens, as was adroitly surmised by serenitynow,
my upcoming spectacle of villiany and betrayal of my dedication
will be in the service of a national advocacy group for LGBT>>> PFLAG (P-FLAG) Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays
trying not to create a teal deer here, i must give some back story
- in mid 1990s, a landmark, precedent setting case was heard in federal court of appeals involving a lawsuit against a school district that had failed to protect a gay student from bullying, harrassment and assault
- the school district in question settled out of court for $900,000
- this year, the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) Teach Tolernace Project has produced a 40 minute documentary
- BULLIED: A Student, A School and a Case that Made History
- the documentary is being distributed free to any school that requests a copy
- since september 15th, they have distributed 25,000 copies
- our PFLAG chapter is hosting a screening of this doco next week
- since september 15th, they have distributed 25,000 copies
- the documentary is being distributed free to any school that requests a copy
- BULLIED: A Student, A School and a Case that Made History
- THE school district is in the next town over
- the student, now a 35 year old man, who still has his family in that town, will be our guest panelist, along with a teacher, still in the school district, who also appears in the doco
- the school board in that city showed the film this past monday
- every local paper (both) plus a duluth, mn regional paper, carried a headline about the reactions, some good, some inflammatory
ok, so... the big deal is.... there is no other school district in the whole country besides this one, that has the ignoble distinction of being THAT school, even though, without a doubt, under slightly different circumstance, MOST schools could have been sued and lost! lots of ill will, bad blood, hurt feelings and other negative emotional garbage still being touted... even tho we STRESS the point of the doco is to call attention to bullying and start the dialogue about how to make schools safer!!!!
anyway, i will be the moderator for the panel after the screening.... our venue is expected to exceed capacity (according to the amount of inquiry the manager is fielding)... we have been contacted by a PR rep who was warning us to be prepared for multiple scenarios of negative displays, and I have been in contact with SPLC's Teach Tolerance Projects director and their security specialist... we are advised to have ON-DUTY law enforcement present and visible, because now that there has been press, SPLC is worried about hate groups that target their events.... even tho this isnt their event, their name has appeared with ours..... we have been told to expect film crews....
granted, this could all be a tempest in a tea pot.... but it could also be something we never anticipated.....
come hell or high water, i am going to be there!! i just hope i can handle a stage part without a sister sitting across from me, agonizing thru some of the lamest dialogue ever imagined
if you get the chance to see the documentary, or you have kids in school, see if your schools are screening it (comes with a guided study manual)
every one who loves a child sends their heart thru the school doors every day, and wants that to be a safe place..... for every child!

that are decidedly contrary to the bleatings of the b0rg and publicized?i am about to commit a humdinger of a display of worldliness, with potential for
regional news coverage and i was wondering if anyone out there is public in their
contrary and stiff-necked behavior? i have to dash to a hair appointment ( i am

Even when you think you're out, you're not...
by undercover insometimes we debate about which is better - to fade...or to da/get dfd.. there are pros and cons to each method.
faders like to say that they're not playing by the rules and can still associate with family.
daers say that they are totally free and can speak their mind and celebrate their holidays as they see fit with absolutely no retributinos.. i see the advantages of both sides and understand why one chooses one path over another.

Questions From Readers - October 20th, 2010
by sd-7 inwhy are jehovah's witnesses as a whole not permitted to read the elder's manual?.
on the first day of the unfermented cakes, well before his arrest and sacrificial death, jesus christ instructed his disciples on how to prepare for the passover.
when he did so, he did not provide advance, detailed instructions for all of his disciples; instead, he dispatched only two of them to find a suitable location, which he evidently had already planned with the householder.
